Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, Ed Fagen, one of the nation s foremost authorities on steam whistles, has provided us with a broadly researched, eloquently written and marvelously witty book, the first and only one on the subject. It includes comprehensive, illustrated chapters on: the history of the steam whistle, the voice of the Industrial Revolution, and how it developed; the various uses of steam whistles on locomotives, ships, factories, firehouse roofs, circuses; the broad range of whistle manufacturers, their histories and their product lines (including how to identify and date whistles, as well as an extensive discussion on the relative rarityof whistle types); how to acquire, organize, and preserve a whistle collection; how to repair and restore steam whistles; how to blow steam whistles on steam or compressed air; how a steam whistle actually works a point that remains somewhat controversial even today. Also included are an illustrated glossary of whistle terms, an illustrated review of the major whistle-related U.S. design patents, and a comprehensive index. A joy to read, this book is a true must have for the railfan, collector, curator, historian of science, industrial archeologist, and anyone for whom the sound of this icon of connotative richness has ever beckoned to adventures that live in the imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers attempts to invade the dream world, bringing back the weirdest and most terrifying tidbits-all for the amusement of the reader. The authors in these pages have dared to draw from their dream worlds, beating a path through the wilderness of the human subconscious in order to take us to places better left unexplored. But that's okay. Fiction can't hurt us. Neither can dreams. This much we know. We believe it. And yet, somehow, fear lingers, because we cannot be sure... Can we ever fully trust the hidden part of ourselves that seems to have a life of its own? Can we ever feel one hundred percent comfortable with those elusive shadows that flit in and out of our minds, leaving no trace in our memory? We can't help but wonder about dreams... What are they...? -Lindsey Beth Goddard: Author of Quick Fix: A Taste of Terror

Book excerpt: Todd Atkinson has lived in his boyhood lake home since he was ten years old. He prefers his low-key, predictable lifestyle, aiming for safety and little risk at every turn—that is, until he becomes disillusioned with the direction of his life and business career as he approaches thirty. His growing disenchantment leads him to consider changes in employment and attitude, but his conservative outlook makes it difficult to take action. Then things outside his control begin to happen, in particular a death at the lake where he lives. He barely survives the ordeal. The situation leaves Atkinson as the only witness to what authorities rule to be an accidental death. But Atkinson knows otherwise and is now in peril. If he offers his testimony, will he put himself in jeopardy? Though he believes he knows who committed the murder, fear keeps him from coming forward, and the guilt associated with his silence turns to an obsession with finding more evidence—anything to point the police toward the killer. In the process, he upends his comfortable, staid life, engaging in risky behavior and seeking out dangerous situations, soon transforming himself into someone he barely recognizes. In this thriller, a cautious businessman is suddenly entangled in a spiral of death and danger as he confronts his own dissatisfaction with the direction of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early hours of Monday 28th December 1908, a girl steals through the garden of Villa Mazzini. Lilla is on her way to meet Enzo and together they intend to leave on a steamship for a new life in America. First though, they must evade his father’s spies, for Don Carmelo believes the daughter of a fisherman unworthy of his son’s affections; and second, they must survive the greatest earthquake in the city’s long history. In July 1943, Mira receives a visit from Lieutenant Aldo de la Grascia at her family home in the village of Ganzirri. Mira is fond of the officer and without his continuous gift of provisions, her café would have closed long ago. However, the war has already made her a widow and Mira isn’t sure if she is ready to love again. Then, late one night, an Italian sailor knocks on her door and asks her to help his companion, a wounded British naval officer. And in the summer of 2018 on the beach at Capo Peloro, Angelica is intrigued by an Englishwoman who speaks Sicilian in the Messinese dialect and who seems more than a little melancholy. In the afternoon, the woman goes for a swim and is caught in the strong tides that run through the Strait. Angelica wonders whether the woman has put herself in danger intentionally and knows there is little that can be done to prevent her from drowning; that is until a feluca appears. A three-part novel based on historical events, Constant Tides follows the loves of three courageous women through the spring, summer and autumn of their lives in the Strait of Messina, Sicily.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life and death. Witnessing for Christ. We are all called to love. Eternal issues are what's relevant. And as we grow as Christians, we are all to think more and more from a divine perspective. So many in the world are lost and are ushered into hell and torment every day. However, we could help prevent this. A kind word. A lifetime example of Christ. Love others. Some social conformity, please and thank you at a Seven Eleven, and we all dress the same and shop at the same stores. Sometimes this kind of unity and conformity blinds us to how we all need God. And some are lost. The trappings. The glitz. Pleasure. Celebrities. The world system. Like taking a ticket at a deli mart. Stand in line. People don't hear the small cry of a soul sucked into a world system of high technology, and it is too late to say something or bring them back. The heartache of the survivors lives on with eternal questions. There is only one truth and one way to heaven. By becoming born-again. This book is about witnessing, its vital importance. Most of the stories are based on the author's true accounts. Examples of different types of witnessing, problems encountered, different personalities. People are all in different places spiritually on their earthly pilgrimage. This book is a very helpful tool, equipping us to witness on higher levels and with greater expectations. And should we fall short, God can use any and every witness, no matter how small. For we are not responsible for bearing the fruit. We are only called to witness for Christ. But most of all we are called to love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early seventies, the development of the automobile has been characterized by a steady increase in the deploymnet of onboard electronics systems and software. This trend continues unabated and is driven by rising end-user demands and increasingly stringent environmental requirements. Today, almost every function onboard the modern vehicle is electronically controlled or monitored. The software-based implementation of vehicle functions provides for unparalleled freedoms of concept and design. However, automobile development calls for the accommodation of contrasting prerequisites – such as higher demands on safety and reliability vs. lower cost ceilings, longer product life cycles vs. shorter development times – along with growing proliferation of model variants. Automotive Software Engineering has established its position at the center of these seemingly conflicting opposites. This book provides background basics as well as numerous suggestions, rare insights, and cases in point concerning those processes, methods, and tools that contribute to the surefooted mastery of the use of electronic systems and software in the contemporary automobile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lemon-Aid guides steer the confused and anxious buyer through the economic meltdown unlike any other car-and-truck books on the market. U.S. automakers are suddenly awash in profits, and South Koreans and Europeans have gained market shares, while Honda, Nissan, and Toyota have curtailed production following the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Shortages of Japanese new cars and supplier disruptions will likely push used car prices through the roof well into 2012, so what should a savvy buyer do? The all-new Lemon-Aid Used Cars and Trucks 2012-2013 has the answers, including: More vehicles rated, with some redesigned models that don’t perform as well as previous iterations downrated. More roof crash-worthiness ratings along with an expanded cross-border shopping guide. A revised summary of safety- and performance-related defects that are likely to affect rated models. More helpful websites listed in the appendix as well as an updated list of the best and worst "beaters" on the market. More "secret" warranties taken from automaker internal service bulletins and memos than ever.
